Carolina Protocol – est. 1995

Carolina Protocol was established in 1995, when Ann Cherry received training and certification at the Protocol School of Washington in Washington D.C. Following her training she returned and began designing a variety of innovative and fun dinning skills classes for youth and adults. In 2001, she completed The Protocol School of Washington business seminar “Outclass the Competition” emphasizing the value of investing in a variety of skills that will help you reach your professional goals.

Ms. Cherry, one of six children, is grateful for the “everyday” manners instilled by her parents. She can still hear her mother saying: “there is no substitute for good manners!” At Carolina Protocol, we strive to instill the increasingly important “everyday-manners” in both the Cotillion and dinning skills and protocol class arena.

“I discovered that as much as business people needed training in thinking on their feet, they needed far more training in the fine art of getting along and dealing with people in everyday business and social contacts.”
